Where Does Orbot Store Bridges on Android?
Where Orbot keeps Tor config, bridges and settings on Android for backup, moves and migration.
Last updated
Orbot keeps Tor config, bridges and app settings in app private storage on Android. Snowflake and obfs4 bridges refresh from built-in sources; only customs and options need moving on each phone.
Back up before ROM flashes; private data dies with wipes. The VPN slot needs re-granting on every new install regardless of copies. Onion addresses rebuild from tickets, not files, on every phone you own.

Tor config and bridges in private storage with sources refreshing from the network. Back up before flashes. Re-grant the VPN slot anew.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Orbot to a new phone?
Copy the app data with device backup, then verify bridges on the new phone. Configs travel in private storage. Reinstalls without a backup reset customs.
Where are Orbot bridges stored?
Open Orbot settings and read the bridge entries. Bridges refresh from built-in sources and custom lines. The entries always show the live values after updates.
